This $289,011 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Earth Sciences (CFDA 47.050 Geosciences) to the University of Wisconsin - Madison supports research to reconstruct Holocene glacier lengths across North and South America. The research objectives are to: 1) constrain glacier length changes using radiocarbon and beryllium-10 dating, 2) determine glacier length histories through statistical and glaciological modeling, and 3) identify plausible climate scenarios...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $187,835 to The University Corporation, a non-profit organization in Northridge, California, for a collaborative research project titled "Glacier Resilience During the Holocene and Late Pleistocene in Northern California". The project aims to reconstruct past glacier changes in the Trinity Alps region of the Klamath Mountains over the past 20,000 years using methods such as...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.050 Geosciences) provides $145,003.00 to the University of Illinois to conduct collaborative research on glaciers and climate change in the Klamath Mountains of Northern California. The primary objectives are to reconstruct past glacier changes over the last 20,000 years in this region and evaluate the mechanisms driving these climate changes. The study will use a multidisciplinary approach including geomorphic mapping,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $286,415 Project Grant to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on the impacts of climate change on tropical glacierized volcanoes in the Andes of Ecuador. The overarching objective is to determine how glacier retreat on culturally and ecologically critical Andean volcanoes is triggering impacts on water supply, vegetation, land-use, and elemental...
Purdue University was awarded a $108,935 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on climatic control of erosion rates and landscape morphology in Hawaii. The two-year award running from August 2023 to July 2025 will fund research quantifying the influence of fluvial thresholds on landscape response to climate change through study of evolving Hawaiian landforms. Key deliverables include field measurements, digital...
This $683,266 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to reconstruct global ice volume and bottom water temperature over the past 1-3 million years. The project at Brown University will analyze multiple climate proxies, including biomarkers and stable isotopes, using machine learning algorithms to resolve global ice volume and ocean temperature signals. The key objectives are to assess the role of CO2 and ice albedo in global...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), supports a collaborative research project on glacier resilience and climate change in the Trinity Alps region of northern California. The $409,202 award to the Humboldt State University Sponsored Programs Foundation, a minority-serving and Hispanic-serving institution, runs from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026. The key products and services to be delivered through this grant...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $414,744 to Colorado State University from September 2022 through August 2025 to investigate past, present, and future glaciated alpine landscapes using integrated data and modeling. The award supports developing detailed modern and paleo glaciological datasets from the Teton Range in Wyoming and integrating them into a state-of-the-art glacier model (PyG2D) to simulate past and ongoing glacier...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $750,000 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Colorado (UC Boulder) to study the groundwater connection between melting glaciers and mountain streams under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The project will characterize two glaciated watersheds in Colorado and Montana, analyze relevant environmental data, and conduct numerical modeling to understand how glacier meltwater affects aquifer...
This three-year, $291,344 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support research investigating past, present, and future glaciated alpine landscapes using integrated data and modeling. Four early career principal investigators at Occidental College will develop detailed modern and paleo glaciological datasets from a well-constrained site in the Teton Range, Wyoming. They will integrate these datasets into a state-of-the-art glacier model,...
